ramiro poured coffee into a cup. the table below shows the temperature of the coffee with respect to the number of minutes since the coffee had been poured. number of minutes 2 4 6 8 10 temperature (°c) 66.74  50.43  39.47  32.10  27.15 the independent variable in the relationship is the (number of minutes or temperature) and should be placed on the (x-axis or y-axis) the dependent variable in the relationship is the temperature or number of minutes) and should be placed on the (x-axis or y-axis).  you!

To solve this problem you must take into account what it is a dependent variable and what it is an independent variable.
 The dependent variables are plotted on the y axis. These variables depend on what value takes x for them to adopt a value.
 The independent variables are plotted on the x axis. These variables take any value because they do not depend on a function.
 We have then:
 The independent variable in the relationship is the number of minutes and should be placed on the x-axis.
 The dependent variable in the relationship is the temperature and should be placed on the y-axis.
